Sweet Causes was among the guests at Birmingham Children’s Hospital where a unique set of stained-glass windows were unveiled.

The windows, designed by Sir Quentin Blake features installations of some of Roald Dahl’s most popular characters.  The Installation was unveiled by Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. Alongside The Duchess, were Sir Quentin Blake, & Felicity Dahl, wife of the late author, who came up with the idea for the project.

Birmingham was chosen for the installation as Mrs Dahl’s father had previously worked at the hospital as a surgeon.

A plaque has also been installed in the hospital including a list of the contributors to the project, with Sue & Bob Strong, the companies founders being among them.
